Czech Christmas dinner and Christmas party 20. - 21. 12. 2014

December is always busy month, this year it felt even busier, so we had to squeeze both of our traditional holidays celebration to one weekend. On Saturday we hosted our annual Czech Christmas dinner. This year I decided to switch carp for another white fish, and bread crumbs for almonds. It was success! It was nice to see everybody again!
On Sunday we invited our non-Czech friends for a party. We played our traditional games - guessing in a stocking, opening presents in oven mittens, white elephant exchange and pictionary. It was fun evening.

Prosinec je vzdy mesic nabity aktivitami, ale tento rok byl jeste vice precpanejsi nez obvykle. Museli jsme tak dat do jednoho vikendu nase tradicni vecirky. V sobotu jsme pozvali kamarady na kazdorocni ceskou vanocni veceri. Tento rok jsem se rozhodla vymenit kapra za jinou bilou rybu a strouhanku za mandle. Byl to uspech! Bylo moc pekne zase vsechny videt.
V nedeli jsme pozvali dalsi kamarady na vecirek. Hrali jsme nase tradicni hry - hadani co je v puncose,  otevirani darku ve chnapkach, rozbalovani a "kradeni" darku a hadani obrazku. Byl to super vecer.

New homemade storage bed 30.11. 2014

Eric and I decided to give ourselves a king size bed for Christmas. We started to look around, but we didn't see anything we liked. We wanted to be able to use the space under the bed for a storage also. Then we found a type of bed that we liked, but at one place they made it in queen size only, in the other place the bed with shipping was for about $1000. Solution came when I run into a instruction for a bed on Youtube and Eric adjusted it to our needs. We bought wood in Home Depot, had it cut there, and in one afternoon Eric built it. Meanwhile we were waiting for shocks, we bought a new mattress. To finish the bed with the last piece took a few hours. Now we are enjoying the extra space on bed and under bed.

Eric a ja jsme se rozhodli si dat k vanocum velkou postel. Zacali jsme se se poohlizet, ale nevideli jsme nic, co by se nam libilo. Chteli jsme mit take prostor pod posteli pro ukladani veci. Pak jsme nasli typ postele, ktera se nam libila, ale v jednom obchode ji meli jen v mensi velikosti, a v druhem postel i s postovnim stala kolem $1000. Reseni se naslo, kdyz jsem narazila na navod na postaveni postele na Youtube a Eric jej predelal k nasim potrebam. Drevo jsme koupili v Home Depot, tam nam ho i narezali, a behem jednoho dne Eric postel postavil. Mezitim co jsme cekali na zvedaky, koupili jsme novou madraci. Na dokonceni potele stacilo par hodin. Ted si uz uzivame vice mista na i pod posteli.
